Now I've checked off the former; I don't like to read depressing books. Like you, they stay with me too long.

You MIGHT enjoy it, but frankly, after reading the first few pages, my memory of it is so vague I can't be sure how much I liked it. Those first few pages were good, though.<br /><br />The book I was thinking of was "Sunlight on My Shadow." (Found the name of it by googling "pregnant teen goes to Catholic home for unwed mothers.") The link to that one is on my post dated Oct. 14, 2014.<br /><br />Sorry for the confusion.

On the other hand, the gory works of Stephen King and James Patterson don't seem to bother me at all.
